Possibly one of the best places in the capital reigon of New York to get one's high school education. Schenectady has a bad reputation compared to that of the nearby Niskayuna High School, whose diversity consists of three asian students., but that is only because the local newpapers don't know how to accurately report anything. For example, when a Niskayuna pothead was caught growing marijuana in his closet, it was reported as the crime of a "local student" but when a Schenectady student starts a food fight, you can basically find they're whole biography in the article. People fail to notice that almost all student in these suburban schools are complete druggies or go out and get drunk every weekend at college parties where thirteen-year-old girls give blowjobs to every guy they meet. People also fail to recognize that Schenectady High has a very elaborate fine arts, physical education, technology, and science wings and is also in the top 5% of high schools in the nation as far as variety of class offerings go. It is also currently the only school in the capital reigon to offer a full International Baccalaureate diploma with which a certain someone, got accepted into Yale. On top of that the diversity is mind-blowing and well prepares you for all of the different types of people you will meet in life. So, top that Niskayuna and all of you other suburban schools whose success is nothing more than a cover-up of your weaknesses.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

A high school with horrible attendance records and horrible student grades. located in the hood.
has fights almost daily.

The most ghetto school in NY. Gang fights weekly, stabbings, shootings. Anyone from any school can jus walk in no ID needed. Kids roam the halls all day, minimum work given out, but the school still passes them because they went then to graduate and get out. If you want to get stabbed, robbed, or fail high school, Schenectady high is the way to go!
